I might as well buy an SUV to remind myself how polluting they are. I find this an incredibly dumb idea. I might as well buy an SUV to remind myself how polluting they are.

However, The Green Guide (www.thegreenguide.com) has looked into these power strips and they aren't currently being manufactured on a wide scale. The company has only created prototypes suitable for European outlets, and when we spoke to them at the end of September, they were still planning on introducing the product in Europe first, with a North American model coming out at some unspecified point in the future.Even so, if enough people express an interest in the chords to the designers, perhaps they'll speed their manufacturing along.

It would work, though, in my teenagers dark bedroom to remind him to turn off his X-BOX before he goes to bed and not when I wake him up in the morning.So often this website has such great ideas but no info on where to purchase items. Can this be improved? I do like the concept and no, it it wouldn’t work in every application…use discretion in dark bedrooms and around babies.

Het is een stekkerdoos met elektriciteitssnoer dat de energie die er door heen vloeit visualiseert door feller op te lichten naarmate je meer gebruikt. Hiermee maakt het je bewust(er) van je energieconsumptie. Met mijn eigen huidige gebruik kan ik m’n verlichting wel uitlaten als ik deze cords zou hebben of is dat nu net de bedoeling?

It would be a very cool sculptural lamp or chandelier - and an annoying plug in cord. This is my first inhabitat experience and I love the cutting edge you represent.
